Chapter 223

"Tsk, that's a bit boring."

"Why don't we take a look at the plot of another world line?"

Closing the Book of the World in his hand, the virtual Vic ended his deduction in boredom.

Then, the world that was constantly evolving in front of the two of them suddenly came to a halt.

Then, suddenly, the tape started to rewind.

The light flickers and time reverses.

A long section of mysterious and fantastic scenes flashed by.

Finally, it stopped at the projection of another world line of "Faren World".

……

……

……

The bright sunlight slanted down through the gaps in the window grilles, casting thick lines of light and dark on Sean's face, causing him to squint.

A long rope tied Sean and more than a dozen people together. Next to them were heavily guarded soldiers with expressionless faces and standard long swords in their hands.

This is a tall tower where wizards live. The tower body, built of blue stones, is straight and looks tough. The inner wall painted with black paint is carved with exquisite patterns. Some decorations with a sense of age are hung on the wall, adding a bit of simplicity and elegance to this wizard tower.

Under the high dome of the hall, tables and chairs made of dark red hardwood were tilted on the ground. A man dressed in gorgeous and complicated clothes stood in front of Sean and others, talking to a burly man in heavy armor.

He looked a little old, with a cold expression on his face. He was not tall and a little bloated. His hands, which were exposed, appeared very white, inadvertently revealing the owner's pampered life.

Sean knew who he was.

Count Edgar Broad, a great noble who controls many caravans, is one of the three earls of Theresa City. The soldiers around him who point their weapons at him and others are undoubtedly his private soldiers.

It was obvious that they were not the owners of the tower, but uninvited guests who suddenly broke in.

In the past, they would not come here so easily.

Everyone knows that for a mage, the mage tower is his base camp. Various difficult traps are often set up in the mage tower. Even if someone sneaks up to the mage tower, they may be ruthlessly attacked by the owner of the tower.

But now no one can stop them, because just a few hours ago, the owner of this tower, the 19th-level trainee wizard Lauren, died in his room after failing in his attack to the full master level.

Sean and others were just Lauren's assistants or servants and had no power to resist Earl Broad.

This is a world dominated by professionals.

Professionals possess extraordinary powers, and their soul realms are divided into levels. When professionals carry out activities that match their professions, their souls will be constantly tempered, and when a limit is reached, they will naturally upgrade.

The classification of professionals is simple.

Professionals at levels 1 to 9 are called apprentices, levels 10 to 19 are trainee, and once they reach level 20, which is the official level, they can be called a big shot.

Although the gap between one level does not seem to be that big, the threshold from the apprentice level to the official level has stopped countless people. It is said that only one out of every thousand apprentice-level professionals can successfully advance to the official level.

And the old wizard Lauren has become one of the dead bones on the road to the official level.

He was really too old. He had lived for more than 250 years since he was born, and was only a few years away from the -year life span limit for trainee level.

He hasn't lived enough, he still wants to live...

He wanted to become an official professional, to live for a thousand years, to decide the fate of millions of people with his every move, so he risked everything he had and began his final struggle.

In the process of promotion, his magic power, his soul, his body, and everything he had accumulated over the years were completely consumed.

But even so, he has not reached that level...

"Damn old man, you're almost buried, why can't you just lie down in your coffin? You wasted so many resources before you died, making me happy for nothing!"

The sturdy man complained to Earl Broad, as if to vent his anger, and swept the heavy sword in his hand into the air with force. A stream of blood and energy emerged from the tip of the heavy sword, just like sword energy, flying out in the direction of the swing.

With a "swish" sound, the thick tower body was cut open by the blood and qi force like tofu. The sunlight from the outside world entered the tower through the diffuse smoke and dust, and the blood and qi force also dissipated in the air in a blur.

"Okay, Field." Earl Broad's face was not looking good. It was not known whether it was because he did not get the expected gains or he was dissatisfied with the strong man's behavior. "I think there is no problem here. This old guy still has some valuable things. Anyway, we are not returning empty-handed."

"Oh, of course." The burly man named Field sneered and said meaningfully, "Of course you didn't return empty-handed, I believe that..."

The surging energy and blood caused his body to emit a faint red light. The surrounding air was disturbed by this force, causing a weak airflow in the room.

Sean lowered his head slightly. The power of Qi and blood is the power possessed by warriors. This Field should be the helper invited by Earl Broad. From the attitude he showed, he was obviously an apprentice-level warrior.

"I'll have someone send half of the harvest to you later." Broad seemed even more annoyed. He tried to suppress his emotions. "Henry Toland is not as greedy as you. I should have let him come earlier."

"I'm not your subordinate..." Field nodded, and with satisfaction, he put the sword in his hand into the scabbard on his back. Then he slowly glanced at Sean and the other people who were tied together, and said, "Do you want me to help you deal with these people?"

Field's words caused a commotion among the crowd, but because the surrounding soldiers were watching them vigilantly, no trouble occurred.

After listening to these people's conversation, Sean gritted his teeth.

These damn guys broke in just a few minutes after Lauren's death. Not only did they seize all the property left by Lauren, they also wanted to kill me. It was so disgusting.

……

……

"stop!"

This time, the content evolved from the virtual Vic was much less.

After the first act, he immediately issued a stagnation order.

And the whole world stopped.

"Okay, I've almost figured out the so-called 'logic of plot evolution'."
